Re: Re[2]: learning ethical hacking

Good selection Jeff. =)

I'm also a fan of most any O'Reilly flavor (http://www.oreilly.com/).
While most of their books aren't geared towards "ethical hacking" in a
sense, they are VERY informative. The first step for any hacker is to
understand the protocols and procedures. Their TCP/IP book is a gem -
read that and have a copy of netcat on hand for some testing of your
own.
